Jumping is fun and exhilarating, and can provide you with a quick way to get your heart pumping. When combined with an easy leg move, you’ll also give your thighs some exercise.
How to do it
- Stand with your knees bent slightly
- Jump straight up
- While in the air, bring your knees into your chest and extend your arms straight out
- Land with your knees slightly bent
- Jump again, repeating steps 3-4
- Aim to perform 10 reps
Tips
- Performing this exercise while wearing sneakers to reduce the shock and ensure an easier landing.
- Be sure to give yourself plenty of space.
